Recently there’s been a lot of hay made about the #audiodramasunday hashtag weekly on Twitter. We think it’s a fantastic way to get the word out for those who haven’t yet got on the Audio Drama Trolley (we’ve got multiple cars give us a try!) But for those of us who already listen to audio drama the rest of the week, how can we help out?
Perhaps you can make Sunday your review day. Most shows RSS Feeds can be found through i-tunes and lately we at the Sonic Society have made Sundays our day to attempt to systematically write i-tune reviews for all our favourite shows. Because that would take an inordinate amount of time, we’re keeping our list to three shows a week. How about you?
Try the three reviews a week Sunday challenge!
Honestly, it’s not easy to go write reviews in the first place, but here’s a couple of methods:
- First, if you’re like us old schoolers, Hubspot has an article to show you how to write a review in itunes on Windows or Mac computers.
- Secondly, if you prefer to operate with the podcast app on your phone, iMore has a great article on how to write a review using your iphone or ipad.
Lastly, if you’re a producer, you can sign up and check your reviews from all around the world monthly with a free account at MyPodcastReviews.com
So what are you waiting for? Go out there and get more folks on i-tunes checking out how hot radio drama is….
And hey, what better way to start than writing one for the Sonic Society? You hit EVERYONE then! Happy Reviewing!
The Nepascene has a series of digressions in this article which thrills in the memories of old time radio. Among the great musical hits the author, Tim Thumb, remembers, there’s these fine gems of OTR:
Then, in junior high at a brand new apartment building my mom and I moved into, I discovered “CBS Radio Mystery Theater,” with host E.G. Marshall.
You can listen to many episodes (of varying quality) here. I highly recommend that you do.
Having listened whenever we could find a classic radio show with my gramps – “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” “Fibber McGee and Molly,” “The Shadow,” “Buck Rogers” – I’d already developed a pretty intense love of radio plays.
But “CBS Radio Mystery Theater” was new! It was a first-run show and current! It featured stars like Fred Gwynne (whom I knew from “Car 54, Where Are You?” and “The Musters” and you’ll know as the judge from “My Cousin Vinny”), Ed Ames, Ralph Bell, Joe Campanella, Richard Crenna, and tons more as voice actors. It was a glorious discovery, and the station it was carried on was a country format in the evening leading up to the show, which aired at midnight (I’d have that earphone in, sneaking a listen to avoid an ass whoopin’, and fully prepared to be draggin’ ass the next morning!). Since I always tuned in early so as not to miss the creaking door and “BUM BUM BUMMMMM” opening, radio is also where my love for outlaw country was born.
This and so much more in the Nepascene story. What are your remembrances of days of yore when we prepare for Christmastime?
We in the Society love all things audio, and with Halloween coming up, it only makes sense we look at some of the most unexplained audio clips we have. While there’s many, Matthew Santoro does a good job in his youtube channel outlining ten famous sounds. How many of them do you know?
